2009 Penn State Football Preview:
Head Coach: Joe Paterno
The top national story for the 2009 Penn State Nittany Lions football season will likely be about whether JoePa will retire. Penn State Head Coach Joe Paterno has coached the Nittany Lions for over 40 years and will be 82 years old when the season starts. So its natural that media outside Pennsylvania will continue to focus on this story. Closer to Happy Valley the stories will likely be about how Penn State can improve upon their 11-2 record from 2008. The Nittany Lions return QB Daryll Clark and RB Evan Royster to anchor a dangerous PSU offense. If they can put points on the board and JoePa gets the Penn State defense playing lights out then State fans could be booking plane tickets to Pasadena for early January 2010.
